Stars Laboratory

the space & terrestrial autonomous robotic systems (stars) laboratory is located at the university of toronto institute for aerospace studies (utias). we envision a future in which robotic systems are pervasive, persistent, and perceptive. towards this end, the stars laboratory carries out research at the nexus of sensing, planning, and control, with a focus on the study of fundamental problems related to perception, representation, and understanding of the world. our goal is to enable robots to operate safely over long periods of time and in challenging, dynamic environments, for example, in homes and offices, on road networks, underground, underwater, in space, and on remote planetary surfaces. we work to develop power-on-and-go machines that are able to function independently from day one without a human in the loop. are you interested in pushing the state of the art in robotics? if so, consider joining us! more information is available on our laboratory website.
